A orange round ball next to a bush on the ground.

I was a kid when I saw this so I don't remeber when exactly or were I was.  
I was asleep in my Grandpa's truck.  I woke up because we pulled over.  I sat up to see what my Grandpa and Mother was looking at.  
There was a Orange Sphere hovering above the ground next to a hedge.  Nobody said anything and I asked my mom what it was.  She said it was the sun, of course it wasn't but I was a kid and didn't know any better.  Now I do.  
I asked her what it was doing and she said it was sleeping so I asked her were it pajama's where and she said it doesn't wear any because it would burn them off.  That's all I remeber about it.  
My grandpa is no longer with us and my mom pretends she doesn't remeber it happening.  
I heard about Ed Dames talking about the same thing on Art Bell and I about fell out of my chair.  I thought it wasn't real until I heard the show. 
You may contact me by email if you wish to talk about it.  My father and uncle have told me similar but seperate story recently.
Time and date are approximate.  PD
